Fish list for 90

[rad1687]

I am in the process of getting my new 90 gallon set up. I have a medium sized cove of rocks curling around the back left corner and a large rock tower on the right. I love the minimalist look and will have a good bit of open space for swimming.

My desired fish list is:
1 Copperband Butterfly
1 Kole Tang
1 Flame Angel
2 Pancy Percula Clowns


After a year or so, I would also like to add a mandarin. Does all of this sound plausible? Would adding a foxface be too much? Thanks in advance!

Nah you should be good, depending on your filtration setup. You will need a fair amount of live growth to feed that copperband unless it eats frozen foods immediately. I have a 90 and have a larger bioload than that.

Thank Chkn! I plan on holding off until I find a CBB that I can see eat in the store. I will have a Reef Octopus 6", so hopefully this will be good.

I wouldn't add the mandarin with the CBB. Both are a PITA to feed.

I was under the impression that the CBB feeds primarily on feather dusters and tube worms rather than copepods. Any reef safe butterflies that could be recommended for a mixed reef?

NNOOOO not a flame angel lol i know ppl have this fish for years and they are reef safe. but i had mine for 7 years and the last month he started likng corals . had to take him out . it also depends in what ur doing with the tank . reef tanks or just fish only

Definitely a reef tank, most LPS but a few SPS here and there. I would really like to try the flame, and hope I get one of the well mannered ones!
